All About Black Bull Terriers

Since ancient times, humanity has had a very ambiguous opinion about such an interesting breed of dog as the Bull Terrier. Most people believe that this animal is very aggressive and even dangerous to humans. Black bull terriers are considered especially aggressive.

However, many dog ​​handlers argue that a dog is incapable of killing a person, and it does not carry any danger. Whether it is so or not is worth investigating.

It is about black bull terriers that will be discussed in the article

Bull Terriers were born thanks to the experiments of the English breeder James Hincks. In the middle of the 19th century, he set the task of forming a completely new and truly strong dog.

Initially, Hinks planned to create a dog with a perfect white color, and he succeeded.

Contrary to this version, facts have surfaced quite recently, proving that the breed appeared much earlier - about 200 years ago. These conclusions were made based on the paintings of 1810, on which you can see animals that strongly resemble a bull terrier.

Officially, the breed was recognized at one of the exhibitions - around 1863.

In the middle of the 20th century, not only white bull terriers began to appear, but also black ones.

Let's consider the main characteristics of the breed.

• In appearance the dog is very powerful and muscular, even in spite of its small size. The male is noticeably larger than the female, both in weight (about 25 kilograms) and in height (no more than 50 centimeters).
• Head the bull terrier is long and oval.A smooth arc runs from the back of the head to the nose, and the skull is almost perfectly flat between the ears.
• Muzzle the dog resembles a rat, so the bull terrier is often called the "giant rat". The jaw is very massive and strong. The eyes are dark in color and widen markedly when excited.
• On the head there are closely set triangular ears.
• It should be said separately about the dog's paws - they are very strong and developed. That is why, when running, the bull terrier is able to develop a fairly high speed.
• Wool short and tight. It comes in both black and white.

Now it should be said whether the black bull terrier is deservedly considered dangerous.

Indeed, at times the dog has outbursts of aggression, for example, at the sight of a cat. However, it should be understood that for a long time the breed was grown for fights and exhibitions, so the fighting instinct cannot be taken away from the dog. This also explains the strength and muscularity of the dog, as well as massive jaws.

Due to the fearless and stubborn nature of the dog, it is necessary to educate and train it from an early age. It is important that the animal is aware of who is the owner. In the absence of training and proper education, it can become completely unmanageable.

Providing the bull terrier with rigorous training and a good dog handler, you can get an obedient and loyal friend for years to come.

By nature, the dog is very active, hardy and friendly. He is absolutely loyal to people, but he can show aggression with other dogs.

Before you bring such a pet home, you should clearly understand that for his upbringing, a firm and patient character is needed, otherwise the dog will simply not take its owner seriously.

The Bull Terrier is rather difficult to train. This is due to his stubborn nature and absolute fearlessness. Basically, the dog does only what it likes, so you need to hire an experienced specialist for training.

It is not worth showing aggression and anger towards the pet - the animal is very vindictive, and can take revenge at any moment.

Walks must be daily - at least 2 times a day.

The Bull Terrier's diet should be balanced and rich in vitamins and minerals. Dry food should be selected by a specialist based on the height and weight of the dog.

The best food for this animal is raw meat. However, in order to avoid infection with worms it is recommended to pour boiling water over the meat before giving it to the dog.

Chicken stomachs, hearts, as well as sea boiled fish will be useful in the diet. Raw eggs or dairy products can be fed from time to time.

When giving a dog meat, it is important to know that she is categorically prohibited from pork. And prohibited products such as chocolate, ice cream, flour, smoked, spicy, fried products.

Puppies should be fed 5-6 times a day, then gradually reduce the number of feedings.

It is recommended to feed the dog immediately after the walk - 2 times a day. But the size of the portion strictly depends on the age of the pet. It is believed that the smaller the puppy, the more food it needs, as puppies burn a huge amount of energy at an early age.

It is important that the dog has a specific diet. - If she refuses to eat, the bowl should be refrigerated before the next meal.

Bull Terrier puppies are very mobile. And such dogs remain until the age of 5-6 years. Therefore, animals require physical activity and long walks.

No special care required for bull terriers - both white and black coats are rather short, and the dogs themselves are very clean. However, brushing your dog's coat does not hurt at least once every two days. This is done with a special brush and rubber gloves.

The animal should be bathed only if necessary, and the claws should be trimmed about once every 2 weeks using a special device.

• the chosen puppy must be no more than two months old;
• special attention should be paid to his appearance and behavior;
• the dog's passport must contain all data on vaccinations, including anthelmintic prophylaxis.
